Genshin Impact: I am a high-ranking official from various countries

Chapter 138: Use the strategy of nibbling away to devour the stubborn enemies!

On a beach on Haizhi Island, Chen Yang looked at the sea calmly.

This place is very remote. It was found by Chen Yue more than ten years ago. No more than 1000 people know about it.

An ornamental fish was released into the sea, and Chen Yang watched it gradually fall into the sea. But how could a fish that couldn't find food survive in the dangerous sea?

As an ornamental fish, her job is to be a beautiful vase for people to admire.

"Although the enemy camp is small, we must not rush in." Looking at the men in front of him, Chen Yang shook his head and said.

"It's too early to act now. Just to be on the safe side, let's wait until the army leaves!"

After all, no one can guarantee whether under that delicate appearance it is a delicate ornamental fish or a poisonous jellyfish.

"Sir, why is this?"

The subordinates standing by were very puzzled and didn't understand why Chen Yang and the others asked them to build a ship.

All the preparations have been completed. Now they just need to give the order and Xinhai will be brought to them tied up.

"Look at this sea, the waves are rough and dangerous. For those of us who make a living on this sea, it is very important to understand every corner of the sea and the characteristics of every creature."

Chen Yang spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful.

"That ornamental fish, although beautiful, lacks the skills to survive. If she is thrown into the sea rashly, she will likely become prey to other marine creatures."

"Similarly, although the enemy camp is small, it may also hide a force that cannot be underestimated. If we rush to achieve success, we may get into trouble."

Xinhai is a smart person and it is impossible for her to be unguarded against Chen Yue. She is more willing to trust a foreign traveler than a high-ranking official of Inazuma.

If we act now, even if we succeed, it will make things very troublesome.

Besides, we have already waited for so long, a few days won’t make a difference.

It would be better to build a few more fast boats so as to better attack Inazuma.

Although they had several winter ships, using them directly at this tense moment might complicate the situation further.

"So, what we have to do is to wait patiently for the best time." Chen Yang continued, his eyes never leaving the rough sea.

"And shipbuilding is our preparation to seize this opportunity. With more fast ships, we can reach Inazuma in the shortest time possible and capture the general in one fell swoop when he is least prepared."

Chen Yue is already discussing the details of the battle with Xin Hai and the others. He believes that within a few days, the rebels will send large-scale reinforcements to the front line.

"But......"

The subordinate wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Chen Yang.

"I know what you are worried about. You are worried that we will miss this opportunity and Xin Hai will have other possibilities." Chen Yang smiled faintly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

Chen Yang looked into the distance, where there was a hazy coastline. Chen Yang knew that the land was Chen Yue's goal and his ambition.

And he will use his wisdom and strength to help Chen Yue achieve his goal.

"Remember, true victory does not lie in speed but in strategy." Chen Yang's words were deeply imprinted in the hearts of every subordinate.

"What we have to do is not only win this war, but also win the future."

“Win the future?”

"That's right." Chen Yang nodded. He actually knew the current situation better than Chen Yue.

"I will ask you three questions now. If you can answer all of them, then it is not impossible to take action now."

"First, what will we gain if we act now?"

"Second, if we occupy this place now, how will we solve the problem of who will own this land in the future?"

"Third, if this matter gets out, how will the Fatui's bad reputation be solved in the future?"

These issues are indeed very practical and complex. The first issue concerns immediate results and interests, the second issue involves long-term land ownership and political layout, and the third issue directly touches on the public image and reputation of the Fatui.

"I..." The subordinate hesitated, obviously not expecting Chen Yang to ask such a profound question. "Please help me solve this puzzle."

Looking at the confused look of his subordinate in front of him, Chen Yang shook his head slightly.

"First, you have to understand why we want to occupy Haizhi Island. This is not only a strategic issue, but will also evolve into a political issue in the future."

"If we use thunderous means to achieve our goal now, how will we appear in the eyes of the local people?"

Everything Chen Yang did was just to win the future, and he was the one who knew the situation on the field best.

"We want to control Haizhi Island, not occupy this place. We need to position ourselves correctly and not become invaders occupying the local area."

“Although this method is not impossible, it will only be used in the worst case scenario.”

"The sword is not used to start a war, it is a symbol of power. It is not our intention to occupy Haizhi Island. What we want is to control this place!"

"If we use force to occupy the place, do you think the local people will sincerely obey us?"

Chen Yang looked at the Coral Palace on Haizhi Island and an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Moreover, even if the above problems are solved, who will own the property in the future?"

"You also know that we can't stay in Inazuma forever. Even if it is still under our control now, no one can guarantee that there will not be other variables in the future."

"So, sir, what you mean is..." The subordinates began to understand the deeper meaning of Chen Yang's words.

If you want to control this place but cannot resort to force, then there is only one option left.

Chen Yang nodded, and the smile on his face became even stranger.

"Use the strategy of nibbling away at the stubborn enemy!"

"What we need is a more subtle and clever way to control Haizhi Island. We need to find a way to achieve our goals while making the locals happy and accepted."

"This is not a simple occupation, but becoming the one in power here. We need to let the locals see that we are here not to exploit and oppress, but to bring peace and prosperity."

"Build trust and use some means to bring Kaijima into Inazuma's territory."

"This process may not be short, but it will definitely not be so long that we cannot solve it even if we leave here."

"But all this is a matter for the future. It is too early to discuss this now. You just need to understand it as a political issue."
